Coverage for all affected vehicles must be confirmed by using the Vehicle Coverage Inquiry function on subarunet.com. This information is now available.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE AND SAFETY RISK:

Due to a software issue, the head unit memory retrieval and assembly time may exceed the designed time to begin the boot-up cycle.  If this occurs, the head unit display will not boot, causing the screen to remain blank.  In this condition, while backing the vehicle, the rearview image may not be displayed.

The failure to display the rearview image creates a noncompliance with the requirements of FMVSS 111 – “Rear Visibility,” increasing the risk of a crash.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE REMEDY:

Subaru Retailers will reprogram the head unit software on affected vehicles at no charge to the customer.

 

RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY:

Retailers are to promptly perform the applicable service procedures to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory. Additionally, whenever a vehicle subject to this recall is taken into inventory or in for service, necessary steps should be taken to ensure the recall correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Any vehicles listed in a recall/campaign that are in the Retailer’s stock must be:

  • Immediately identified.
  • Tagged or otherwise marked to prevent their delivery or use prior to inspection and/or repair.
  • Repaired in accordance with the repair procedures outlined in this Product Campaign Bulletin.

Please be advised that it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle covered by a recall under a sale or lease until the defect is remedied. Therefore, any Authorized Subaru Retailer failing to perform the applicable service procedures to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory prior to the vehicle being placed in service may be subject to civil penalties of up to $6,000 per violation (i.e., for each vehicle), as provided in 49 CFR §578.6 and will also be in breach of the Subaru Dealer Agreement.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION:

Subaru will notify affected vehicle owners by first class mail, using internal Subaru owner records, this month. Subaru is in the process of acquiring registration data and will notify owners again using that data within the next 60 days. Retailers will be advised when owner renotification begins.

 

RETAILER AFFECTED VIN LISTS:

Each Subaru Retailer will receive an affected VIN list from their Zone Office. For the first notification, Retailer assignment will be based on the selling retailer. For the second notification, vehicles will be assigned to Retailers as follows:

  • Original vehicle owners are assigned to the original selling Retailer when their current address is within a 100-mile radius of that Retailer.
  • If the original selling Retailer is inactive, the VIN has been assigned to the nearest active Retailer.
  • For any new owners or when original owners live more than 100 miles from the original selling Retailer, the VIN has been assigned to the nearest active Retailer.

IMPORTANT: Retailer affected VIN lists include information for vehicles affected by this recall. This information will enable Retailers to follow up with owners of affected vehicles. The lists contain owners’ names and phone numbers obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is unlawful. Accordingly, Retailers are required to limit the use of these lists for the sole purpose of completing this recall.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE:

Affected Vehicles / Audio Units:

Model Year Carline Audio Unit Part Number
2018 Legacy 86474AL65A
2018 Outback 86474AL66A
2018 BRZ 86271CA660

 

The following information addresses reprogramming file availability and a software update installation procedure to provide optimization to Harman Gen 3 Audio / Navigation head units utilized in the models as listed above.  The procedure will involve either downloading the software update files from Subarunet (or using those sent directly from Nuspire) and transferring them onto a flash drive for head unit installation.  It is VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand this information completely before proceeding.

Multimedia System Type Descriptive Features
8.0 Inch Audio /  Navigation System Map Button in Top Row Center

 

This procedure and the related reprogramming files apply to the following audio / navigation head unit:

 

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

Two (2) 16GB (MINIMUM) USB 2.0 or 3.0 flash drives which are readily available at most office supply retailers will be needed to perform these updates.

Recommended Flash Drives:

  • Kingston®: Data Traveler G3, G4, SE9 or the Hyper-X Series

 

  • SanDisk®: Cruzer Series, Ultra Flair

 

 

 

NOTES:

  • The update files are not overly large but, during the reprogramming procedure, the head unit backs up some files to the USB drive. For this reason, sufficient USB drive memory size is required, especially for the High / Navigation units.
  • The flash drives should be dedicated to storing these reprogramming files only. Do NOT use any flash drives which contains or requires the use of file management, encryption, file backup or other software to function properly.

 

NOTE:

  • This new update also includes an enhancement to the map data for Subaru Retailer locations.

 

Step 1-  Verify the currently installed Software Version ID using the following steps:

  • After starting the engine, from the HOME screen, touch “Settings”.

 

  • From the Settings > General screen, scroll down to and then touch “System Information”.

 

  • Confirm the current Software Version ID. If the Current Version is 18.43.20 or later per TSB 15-211-17R, STOP as this latest update has already been installed.  Otherwise, proceed to Step 2 below.

 

Refer to TSB 15-211-17R to see the latest software version information as well as a history of prior updates. Software versions Rel_U0.18.43.20 (or later) are acceptable to complete and close this recall.

 

Step 2-  Prepare the USB:

 

CAUTION:  Do not use any USB flash drive which utilizes file organizing software or an operating system.

  • Right click on the corresponding “Removable Disk”.
  • Select “Format”.
  • From the File System drop-down menu, select “NTFS”
  • Check the “Quick Format” box (if not already done).

 

The new reprogramming files are available for download from Subarunet using the normal audio / navigation system file update download procedure:  Go to Subarunet, select Service Operations and Technical>>Forms/Downloads>>Downloads for Audio/Navi then click on the applicable Hyperlink to download the file(s) to your system:

“HIGH-17-18 Impreza-18 Crosstrek-18-Legacy-Outback-18-BRZ-HARMAN AUDIO UPDATENOVEMBER 2018”

Click Here to Access the Downloads for Audio/Navigation Information on Subarunet

 

IMPORTANT: 

  • If the files are being downloaded from Subarunet, they will be .zip files and must be unzipped before they can be used. An EXAMPLE image of the Subarunet links page is provided below.
  • If the files were sent directly from Nuspire, they are ready to use and do not need to be unzipped before they can be used.

 

Step 3-  Load the downloaded update file onto the USB flash drive:

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • NEVER change the update file names after downloading them.

There are various types of USB flash drive available from many suppliers.  If the head unit does not recognize the USB flash drive during the reprogramming process, re-format the flash drive in FAT32 using above process instead of NTFS as previously specified.  If the USB flash drive is still not recognized, use a USB flash drive from different supplier.

  • Once the USB flash drive is located and ready for use, proceed to next step.
  • From the SDS GUI (Desktop) click / open My Documents.
  • Navigate to the USB flash drive (Removable Disk) and double click on it to access the drive.
  • Right Click on the drive and select Format.
  • Change the File System to NTFS.
  • Check the box for Quick Format and then press Start. This will erase any existing files.
  • When the warning dialog box opens, click “OK”.
  • Once formatting is complete, click “OK” then click “Close” to exit the format dialog box.

Follow “A” when using files downloaded from Subarunet.

Follow “B” when using the files sent directly to the SDS notebook from Nuspire.

 

“A” When using update files downloaded from Subarunet:

  • Go to Downloads.
  • Once the files have been downloaded from Subarunet, click on the Downloads folder and then sort by Date Modified to bring the most recent files to the top of the list.
  • Open / display the contents of File folder “Harman Audio-Navi Update Files”.
  • Click on “Extract All Files”.
  • From the dialog box, browse to My Documents then click on “Extract”.
  • Open / display the contents of the 6 related Update File folders.
  • Double-click on the required file (for this example, select the file entitled “HIGH-1718 Impreza-18 Crosstrek-18-Legacy-Outback-18-BRZ-HARMAN AUDIO UPDATENOVEMBER 2018”).
  • Copy ONLY the “Update” folder then paste (or click / drag) it to the “clean” USB flash drive as listed (Removable Disk) in the directory.

 

“B” When using update files sent directly from Nuspire:

  • Go to My Documents on the GUI screen to display the list of available update files shown below.
  • Sort by Date Modified to bring the most recent files to the top of the list. The folder is named: Harman Audio-Navi Update Files.  It contains the six folders shown in the EXAMPLE photos below.

 

  • Double-click on the required file (for this example, select the file entitled “HIGH-1718 Impreza-18 Crosstrek-18-Legacy-Outback-18-BRZ-HARMAN AUDIO UPDATENOVEMBER 2018”) and the Update file will display as shown.

 

  • Click on the Update file and either copy / paste or click / drag it to the USB flash drive.
  • Once the folder named “Update” is loaded onto the USB flash drive, right click on the drive and select “Eject”.
  • Remove the USB flash drive after the prompt appears that says “Safe to Remove Hardware”.
  • Mark the USB “WTZ-85” to indicate the head unit it will update (HIGH in this example).

 

Step 4-  IMPORTANT:  Install the update folder for the head unit being reprogrammed ONLY.  Do not install all three update folders onto the same flash drive at the same time.

 

NOTE:  Do not copy the entire File folder.

 

Copy ONLY the File folder named “Update” to the USB flash drive.

 

  • After the download is complete, NEVER change the folder names.
  • To avoid confusion, label the flash drive with the file contents (e.g. WTZ-85 / HIGH).
  • Confirm there is a folder named “update” on the flash drive.
  • After confirmation, move to the car and either start the engine or follow the procedure as outlined in document GR8-1100 on STIS for use of the GR8’s Power Supply Mode.

 

CAUTION:  Confirm one final time the head unit you are about to update matches with the USB flash drive you have selected.  Attempting to install the incorrect update file will disable the head unit.

 

Step 5-  Update Installation:

 

IMPORTANT:  Always record the customer’s radio station presets, volume and Driver Profile settings before proceeding further. The customer’s radio station presets and volume settings will likely need to be reset once the update and re-boot procedures are completed.

 

  • After the unit “authenticates” the USB flash drive, press “Next” and after the second screen is displayed, press “Next” again.

 

  • The current and available software version information will be displayed. The Available Version I.D should be 18.43.20.

 

  • After confirming the Available Version, press “Install Now” to start the reprogramming process.

 

NOTES: 

  • The screen will go blank (black) for a brief period after installation begins.
  • If a “Do you want to retry” is displayed, press Retry to restart the update.
  • The update should take less than 20 minutes to complete.

 

IMPORTANT CAUTION:  To avoid possible head unit damage, always confirm the update file on the USB flash drive being used matches the head unit being updated (e.g. a BASE update file is being installed into a BASE head unit).  The files are NOT interchangeable between the 3 different audio unit types.

  • Do not touch any of the buttons on the head unit while the updating process is taking place.
  • If during the updating an error screen is displayed asking “Do you want to Retry”, press “Retry” to restart the update.
  • Once the updating process is complete, the head unit will reboot automatically.
  • After the reboot completes, press the HOME button to return to the Home screen.

 

Step 6-  Turn the ignition OFF, open and close the driver’s door then remove the flash drive from the USB port.  If an error screen is displayed asking “Do you want to Retry”, press “Cancel”.

IMPORTANT:  Wait AT LEAST 3 MINUTES before proceeding to Step 7.

 

Step 7-  Verify the newly-installed Software Version ID using the following steps:

  • Turn the ignition back ON. The STARLINK screen should be displayed.  If the STARLINK screen is not displayed, perform Step 5 again and be sure to WAIT AT LEAST 3 MINUTES before proceeding.
  • In some cases, the radio presets may not appear initially.
  • From the HOME screen, touch “Settings”.

 

  • From the Settings > General screen, scroll down to and then touch “System Information”.

 

  • Confirm Software Version is now “Rel_UO.18.43.20”.

 

  • Press  (Home) to return to the Home screen and shut the engine OFF.  Open and close the driver’s door.

 

Step 8-  CRITICAL: Operation Check and Full Re-Boot Procedure:

1) Turn the ignition back ON (ACC) and confirm normal system operation.

2) Confirm the Home screen is displayed.

IMPORTANT:  If during this procedure, the screen goes blank (black) and the STARLINK screen does not appear, the head unit must be replaced.  THIS SHOULD BE A VERY RARE OCCURRENCE.  Contact SOA Techline should this condition occur.

3) Turn the ignition OFF, open and close the driver’s door then WAIT AT LEAST 3 MINUTES to confirm the unit “times out” or “goes to sleep”.

4) Perform 1), 2) and 3) above again (a total of 2) cycles. If normal operation is confirmed, press  to return to the Home screen and shut the ignition OFF to complete the procedure.

 

Step 9-  If lost during the update process, reset the customer’s radio station presets, volume and Driver Profile settings and if necessary, reset the clock to complete the procedure.

 


IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

Subaru Chronology (WTZ-85)

June 12, 2018: SUBARU CORPORATION (Subaru) received the first technical report related to this issue. Subaru requested field part collection to begin a root cause analysis.

 

July 2018 – September 2018: During this period, parts were collected from the field and sent to the supplier for investigation.

 

October 9, 2018: The supplier submitted the investigation report to Subaru.  This report found that a certain memory chip with a unique firmware algorithm could create longer read times.  Vehicles equipped with the navigation system, which functions with two core processors as opposed to one in other units, may experience the timing delay due to the increased processing.  Finally, the report found that the most recent software version restructures the boot process in such a way which, when installed on head units with the specific hardware, may allow for a time out of the boot process.

 

October 10, 2018:  In conjunction with the returned parts inspection results from the supplier, it was determined that 32 field reports were related to this condition.

 

October 2018 – December 2018Subaru and the supplier had a series of meetings to discuss the details of the supplier’s investigation report and an upward trend in field reports.

Based on the combination of hardware and software factors found by the supplier and presented to Subaru on October 9, 2018, it was determined through production records that certain 2018 Outback, Legacy, and BRZ vehicles may be affected.  In addition, certain 2018 Outback and Legacy vehicles, which did not have the combination of hardware and software factors when manufactured, may have had a routine software update or had a part replacement through a technical service bulletin issued in December 2017, and may also be affected.

 

December 14, 2018:  In conjunction with the returned parts inspection results from the supplier, it was determined that 140 field reports were related to this condition.

 

December 21, 2018: Subaru completed the investigation and determined that FMVSS non-compliance exists and decided to conduct a recall.  There are no known accidents or injuries related to this condition.
